Understanding Acute Appendicitis in Children | Causes, Symptoms & Treatment | Dr. Rasik Shah

Acute Appendicitis is a serious medical condition where the appendix becomes inflamed and often filled with pus, causing intense abdominal pain. This condition is most common in children and requires immediate medical attention to prevent complications, such as rupture. It typically occurs due to a bacterial infection or minor injury to the appendix. In this video, Dr. Rasik Shah, Senior Consultant Pediatric General and Laparoscopic Surgeon at NH SRCC Children's Hospital, Mumbai, explains the causes, symptoms, and available treatment options for acute appendicitis in children. He discusses how the condition develops, common signs to watch for, and the necessary steps for effective treatment. Key points covered: Causes: Acute Appendicitis is often triggered by bacterial infections, food particles, or stool blocking the appendix. Symptoms: Intense abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and loss of appetite are common symptoms. Prompt diagnosis is crucial. Treatment: Laparoscopic surgery (appendectomy) is the standard treatment for removing the inflamed appendix, offering faster recovery and fewer complications. Dr. Shah emphasizes the importance of quick action if your child experiences symptoms of appendicitis. Early intervention can lead to a successful recovery and avoid further complications.
